Congratulations! 
Please send me an email with your address so that I can get your CNY goodies into the mail.
In case you need an easy and elegant wreath idea, I put together a new wreath for my bedroom to hang over my mantle. I've seen coffee filter wreaths posted all over my favorite crafting blogs and when I saw my friend Nikki's wreath, I knew I needed to attempt one myself.This craft is not hard at all. Pinky swear. The biggest problem was my glue gun and how often I burned my fingertips.
Supplies:Wreath (foam or straw)
Glue gun
Coffee filters
Ribbon for hanging
Embellishments optional
*Most of the items can be found at the Dollar Store. Yippee!!
1. Separate coffee filters and fold into quarters forming a blossom like shape. I found that it worked faster to fold several filters and set them aside to glue later.
2. It takes A LOT of filters, so don't give up in the process.
3. Be prepared with a glass of cold water for those burned fingertips. Note to self...invest in a new glue gun!!
4. I decided to embellish my wreath with a pink ribbon, antique pin and glittered valentine that I crafted with an image I found on Graphics Fairy.Graphics Fairy has beautiful valentine images available if you are looking to make some special valentines. I embellished the vintage postcard image with lots of glitter and tiny flowers. I used straight pins to attach my valentine to the wreath so that I can swap it out with different items in the future.
I hope you're having a crafty weekend! I had so much fun with this last give-away, that I'm going to work on a few Valentine goodies for another give-away in the near future.XOXO

Wow! This is a stunner as well!
Very cute wreath!
Keep on creating-it is always so much fun to read about what you are making.
Congrats to Jan (as you probably know, she is my co-worker). Love your pretty wreath too!
Hope you are having a great weekend!
Kim, that wreath is beautiful! Your home is always so lovely. I wish I had your talents. We should open a shop with your home accents and my hair bows.
I am good around the glue gun though. I do have a good scar though :)
Janet is one of my all time favourite friends!
Love that wreath!
Thanks for the fun!

What a gorgeous wreath!!!
I wanted to let you know that I'll be bragging about you tomorrow. I'm featuring your beautiful Heart shaped box on my Brag Monday Post!
Your wreath is just gorgeous! I have one lying around (the wreath-y thing!) and I think I am finally going to try my hand at something like this. I'll have some ice cubes ready and waiting. lol!

Your wreath looks pretty (hope your fingers feel better) and I love the way you embellished it!
Adorable wreath! Very creative use of coffee filters, and I love the vintage clip you added with the envelope. Super sweet.
Kim, it's amazing how a humble coffee filter can be transformed into a thing of such delicacy, beauty, and grace by a skilled hand! The ruffles are so delightful, and your embellishments make it an absolute treasure. I love your style and am so happy that you shared it at "A Little Birdie Told Me..." at Rook No. 17!
This is lovely. You have a great blog. I look forward to seeing you at My Dream Canvas:-)
